This line of SD memory cards offers high performance.

EXCERIA, named to reflect a combination of excellent and experience, offers cards compliant with the SD Memory Card Standard Ver.3.0 UHS-I (from 25 to 104MB/s), and includes versions offering the world’s fastest (as of March 2012) data transfer speed for an SD memory card.

The SD memory card has emerged as the data storage card of choice in personal digital equipment. This success reflects size, ease of use and flexibility and, most of all, performance advances that support such functionalities such as recording HD movies, continuous image shooting with digital cameras, and short transfer times when copying data to other devices.

EXCERIA SDXC and SDHC memory cards offer fast data read and write speeds and compliance with the SD Memory Card Standard Ver.3.0 UHS-I. The minimum recording speed is compliant with UHS speed class 1 (minimum read and write speed is 10MB/s) and SD speed class 10 (minimum read and write speed is 10MB/s).

The new products will be launched in three series, EXCERIA Type 1, Type 2 and Type HD – each offering three versions with different capacities.

The Type 1 series integrates new controllers that realize the world’s fastest data transfers, with a maximum read speed of 95MB)/s and a write speed of 90MB/s. Type 2 series products offer a maximum read speed of 95MB/s and a write speed of 60MB/s, while Type HD products have a maximum read speed of 90MB/s and a write speed of 30MB/s.

The new EXCERIA line will launch in April.
